<p>I just got in to opera tampa’s generation x program also! I’m super excited, but my parents are split on whether I should go or not. We’ll see… I’m just happy for these successes.</p>
<p>Congrats Im Thinking! It’s wonderful to have options. Keep us posted as to which one you choose!</p>
<p>I’m late joining in on this, but I highly recommend applying to Interlochen for next summer. Even with the rules, it’s worth it.
You sound intelligent and I hope your parents will understand and support you if you go forward ambitiously with Voice. For one thing, travel is customary with that and places like Interlochen are an investment - one usually has a great return on it.
btw does Rice still have that 8 or 9 day summer vocal camp (for high school students considering applying to SOMs or conservatories in Voice?) If so, that would be a program to consider. It starts quite early in the summer. I mention it because it wasn’t too timeconsuming and in a nice place.
Rice’s Shepherd School of Music is quite a place to visit…</p>
<p>Hey Im Thinking, I have a friend who is going to Walnut Hill for voice. (My D went there in her sophomore year and loved it.) If you want me to put the two of you together ahead of time so you can chat, just PM me.</p>
